HeritageQuest
This collection of unique
material is for both genealogical and historical researchers, with coverage
dating back to the late 1700s. Use HeritageQuest
to assist patrons in finding their ancestors, trace their paths across America,
and learn what life was like in the areas where they settled.
The Census is the most
important part of HeritageQuest but
some of its other databases are useful as well. Please note that the index in HeritageQuest is not complete for the
last two Censuses (1930 & 1940).
(Note:the Florida/Genealogy
Department recommends Ancestry Library Edition as the best place
to start a beginning patron who wants to start their family history. Ancestry
was a previously featured database in the Bedazzling Database training and is
archived in this blog. However, Ancestry can only be accessed from within a
library branch unlike HeritageQuest which
your patrons can conveniently access from home.)
